On android, I've had trouble with adguard.dns constantly kicking my phone off my wifi. It did great with blocking ads everywhere, but I'm done with reconnecting so often, and I have less data available on my phone plan these days to fill in.
I'm looking for something I can fill in this spot and it just works
What other addresses have you used that consistently block ads?
NextDNS
Seconded
Fourthed
Ok, what do I enter here in order to use that?
First go to https://my.nextdns.io/
Then register
And finally, follow the installation manual
That's all you have to do, it's already configured to block ads so you don't need to worry about that
I use mullvad
How has it been working out for you?
pretty good
I recommend using an IP address for your DNS lookups
Mega Chad!

Mullvad
Ok, what address do I put in for that one?
Pick your preference: https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls
Thanks!
Just want to add that Mullvad DNS may have high latency depending on where you're browsing from, slowing down your browsing experience. Their public DNS servers are pretty sparse, unlike their VPN servers.
Run a DNS benchmark tool that compares their response times for your device
Would I do that through an app or a website?
I use dns.watch on pihole. Been working good so far!
Well, I don't have pihole, but I'm sure this will be helpful for someone!
mullvad is fine
Mullvad, or the best one is your own DNS.
